[1] [2] Initially, the film was announced with Edmondo Amati serving as producer and with a different cast, which in addition of Renzo Montagnani and Paola Senatore included Gloria Guida, Jacques Dufilho, Silvia Dionisio and Simonetta Stefanelli. [2] Alberto Lupo was offered a role but refused. [2]

Release

The film was released in Italian cinemas by Fida on 11 February 1977. [2] The version released in the United Kingdom was heavily cut. [2]

Reception

Italian film critic Marco Giusti described it as the most expensive, yet also the most ordinary, among the erotic films directed by D'Amato, and pointed out that the film is highly derivative of Luigi Zampa's Be Sick... It's Free and of Mariano Laurenti's comedies of the time. [2] Corriere della Sera film critic Maurizio Porro described it as a film that "trivializes everything it touches and involutes each and every joke". [3]
